* pam_krb5 does not properly initialize the Kerberos libraries for
setuid use (CVE-2009-0360).

* Derek Chan reported that calls to pam_setcred() are not properly
handled when running setuid (CVE-2009-0361).

Impact
======

A local attacker could set an environment variable to point to a
specially crafted Kerberos configuration file and launch a PAM-based
setuid application to elevate privileges, or change ownership and
overwrite arbitrary files.
